In 17th century Holland, when William of Orange seized power, an honest provincial horticulturist was accused of treason. Despite his imprisonment, the young man tries to pursue his dream: to create the black tulip. Aided by Rosa, the jailer's own daughter, he will fight the jealousy and malice of the outside world to carry out his task. The author draws a living portrait of his characters and the passions that drive them.
